“In the biggest languages, the voices sound nearly human.”
Review on Capterra , 1 December 2022
“…an impressive natural-like array of voices and great customer support.”
Review on Capterra , 27 September 2022
Austrian German is standard German as it is spoken and written in Austria. It has its own reference dictionary, the Österreichisches Wörterbuch, and it sounds softer and more drawn out than the German of Hamburg or Berlin. Choose it for Austrian listeners: a regional bank, a ski resort, a provincial government or a Viennese café.
Food words show the difference fastest. Austrians say Paradeiser for tomatoes, Erdäpfel for potatoes, Karfiol for cauliflower, Marillen for apricots, Topfen for quark and Schlagobers for whipped cream. Austria's EU accession treaty even protects a list of such terms. January is Jänner, this year is heuer, and a small bag is a Sackerl.
Pronunciation and grammar shift in small ways. The ending ig is said as ik, so wenig ends with a k sound, Chemie starts with a k, and Kaffee is stressed on the second syllable. Austrians say ich bin gesessen rather than ich habe gesessen. Titles matter in address, so check how Mag., Dr. and DI are read, and fix any slip in the pronunciation dictionary.

Preview the line first. If a number, date or abbreviation comes out wrong, write it the way it should be spoken, or add it to the pronunciation dictionary, which is on every plan. One entry fixes that word across the whole project.
No. It is a national standard of German, alongside those of Germany and Switzerland, so any German speaker understands it. The differences lie in vocabulary, pronunciation and a little grammar. Dialects such as Viennese or Tyrolean are another matter: these voices read the standard, so preview any dialect spelling.
Write Jänner. It is the normal word in Austria, used on calendars, in schools and in official letters, while Januar sounds German. Feber for February is heard too, though Februar is more usual in formal text. The voice reads the month name you type.
